Preston North End manager, Graham Westley reportedly refunded petrol costs to disappointed fans, after the Johnstone's Paint Trophy match against Bury was cancelled an hour before kick-off because of a waterlogged pitch.

The minibus full of Preston supporters came across Westley at a petrol station on the journey back home. The former non-league striker reportedly bought the fans a can of Coke and gave them £40 to cover fuel costs.
